Description
Tri-Mic WD is a water-dispersible, direct-fed microbial designed to support calf gut health, feed intake, and growth performance in dairy and beef operations. Easily mixed into water, milk replacer, or liquid feeds, it delivers a concentrated dose of live, naturally occurring microorganisms that help establish a stable and efficient digestive system in young calves.
The formula combines live lactic-acid forming bacteria (LABs), live cell yeast, fungi extracts, and Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis to promote a balanced intestinal environment. These microbes work together to crowd out pathogens, enhance microbial activity, and improve nutrient absorption, helping calves convert feed more efficiently and maintain consistent growth.
Tri-Mic WD is especially effective during periods of stress and transition, including weaning, ration changes, transportation, and post-antibiotic recovery. By helping reestablish beneficial microflora and stabilize the digestive tract, it plays a key role in stimulating feed intake when calves are most vulnerable to setbacks.
The inclusion of Bacillus strains has been shown to support enzyme production, improve feed digestibility, and enhance intestinal resilience, leading to better feed conversion and growth rates.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Tri-Mic WD used for?
Tri-Mic WD is a water-dispersible direct-fed microbial (DFM) used to support gut health, feed intake, and growth performance in dairy and beef calves. It helps establish beneficial microflora in the digestive tract, improving nutrient utilization and overall calf performance.
When should I use Tri-Mic WD on calves?
Tri-Mic WD can be fed daily to maintain gut health and consistent performance or used during periods of stress and transition, including:
- Weaning
- Ration or feed changes
- Transportation
- Environmental stress (weather, housing changes)
- Following antibiotic treatment
How does Tri-Mic WD help improve feed intake?
Tri-Mic WD delivers live beneficial microbes that help stabilize the digestive system and improve gut function. A healthier gut environment encourages calves to eat more consistently, especially during stressful periods when intake typically drops.
Can Tri-Mic WD help reduce scours in calves?
Yes. By establishing beneficial microbial populations and crowding out harmful pathogens, Tri-Mic WD helps reduce the occurrence and severity of scours while supporting overall digestive health.
How do I feed Tri-Mic WD?
Tri-Mic WD is designed to mix easily into water, milk replacer, or pasteurized waste milk.
- Normal feeding: 1 gram per head per day
- During stress or challenges: 2 grams per head per day
Can I use Tri-Mic WD after antibiotic treatment?
Yes. Tri-Mic WD is an effective tool to help reestablish beneficial gut microflora following antibiotic use, supporting faster recovery and a return to normal intake and performance.
How should Tri-Mic WD be stored?
Store Tri-Mic WD in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed. Proper storage helps maintain product stability and ensures a guaranteed live microbial product throughout its shelf life.
